    Old quarter "Schnoor"
    by Bernd_L
    The Schnoor is an old quarter in the eastern part of the city center. Over centuries the home for fishermen, craftsmen and traders it is nowadays a place where you find fancy shops, nice restaurants and lovely backstreets.

    Stroll along the well restored old houses and enjoy the special atmosphere of this historic district.

    Bremens city hall
    by Bernd_L
    This architectural jewel with it's rich renaissance front hosts the Bremen city hall. The city is applying for recognition of this building as a UNESCO world heritage site. It can be visited, but only with a guide because the building is still used as office of the cities administration.

    Roland
    by Bernd_L
    This statue on the market place is called 'Roland'. It is the main landmark of Bremen and symbolizes the liberty of the Bremen citizens. People believe that the liberty of Bremen will be in danger if Roland will be destroyed. Therefore they take care of him and even put him into a safety box during World War II.

    Built in the year 1404 this guy is celebrating his 600th birthday this year. Looks pretty handsome for this age.

    Boettcherstrasse
    by Bernd_L
    This street is a work of art. It represents the typical brick architecture of the northern states of Germany and hosts museums, art galleries, shops and restaurants. Halfway down the street you'll find a small square. Three times a day (noon, 3 pm and 6 pm) you can listen there to a carillon. At the same time you can see the portraits of famous men who crossed the Atlantik ocean (i.e. Columbus and Lindbergh) on a rotating panel on the wall.

    Bremen Town Musicians
    by Bernd_L
    The donkey, the dog, the cat and the rooster are from a fairy tale of the Grimm brothers. These animals were old and their owners therefore planned to kill them, because they caused costs for food and could no longer do the jobs they were supposed to do. Knowing their fate the animals went away and when they met each other on the road they decided to go to Bremen and earn their living as singers.

    Waldbuehne in Buergerpark
    by Bernd_L
    Buergerpark is for Bremen what central park is for New Yorkers. A large green area where the citizens relax. At weekends there are jazz concerts at the "Waldbuehne" - a restaurant with a stage near the northern end of the park.

  • Directions: Take the northern exit of the main train station an walk northward about 400 m. To Waldbuehne it's too far for walking. You can go by bus. Ask at the information desk at the train station.

    Soegestrasse

    This is one of the oldest streets of Bremen. In the middle ages the pigs were driven through this street to the grazing land outside of the city. Nowadays Soegestrasse is a major shopping area of the city.

    by Mariajoy
    Three times daily the 30 Meissen porcelain Glockenspiele are rung at 12, 3pm and 6pm. The bells were made by the musician Lutz Dietze who specialised in bell making at the Meissen factory but in 1933 he was sent to a concentration camp for his religious beliefs. His employers at Meissen had him released to work on the project we can see today in Boettcherstrasse. Dietze was returned to the camp when the work was completed and he died there in 1936.

    Universum at night
    by joernme
    Germanies best science entertainment center. The Universum in the shape of a whale head is not only from the outside spectacular. Take at least half a day for the inside, too. It is packed with interactive and immersive elements that let you understand various aspects of science in a fun way. Your kids will love it, and you will, too, if you could at least save a little bit of the kid in you. There is so much to try out, to touch, to do, to experiment, real edutainment.... It's a real success - 400.000 visitors per year can't be wrong....

    Bremens parliament
    by Bernd_L
    As Bremen is not only a city but also one of Germany's sixteen federal states (together with the city of Bremerhaven) it has it's own parliament which is called the "Buergerschaft" (the citizenry).

    The building was destroyed during World War II and unfortunately they rebuilt it in a very modern style. So this building looks a bit strange between all that beautiful old buildings around it.
